Choosing an asking price starts with similar homes, not a townwide estimate. Your home's details deserve careful attention, and I want you to understand the reasoning behind the price we discuss before you commit.
For Leonard's single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments, the latest market report includes an estimated value of a typical home of $539,340. The typical asking price among homes listed for sale was $694,900. That asking price describes listed properties, not the amounts buyers ultimately paid. The estimated value is generated by a valuation model and is not a formal appraisal.
Neither townwide figure establishes the right asking price for your individual home. I would give recent sales of similar homes more weight when discussing a starting price, while considering competing listings separately. Starting with an ambitious asking price requires deciding how you will respond if buyer interest does not meet your expectations.
Gather details about your home's condition, improvements and features so we can review differences in size, condition and features together. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, then examine how comparable homes listed for sale are priced. Agree on a review plan that considers inquiries and showing feedback before deciding whether to change your asking price.
